Council approves Sandia PAD amendment; golf course removed, open space expanded
After presentations and public comments about access, traffic and water, the Coolidge City Council approved ordinance 26-09 to adopt a major amendment to the 3,212-acre Sandia planned-area development, removing a golf course element, increasing open space to about 481 acres and adding trails and parks; residents pressed the developer on notice, access and archaeological remediation.
The full story
City leaders approved ordinance 26-09 to adopt a major amendment to the Sandia planned-area development (PAD), a large master-planned community roughly 3,212 acres in size. Collier's Engineering representative Joe Horn and Ty Lasser of Lasser Investments described the amendment as a refinement to the existing PAD: the amended plan drops a previously proposed golf course because of water and market concerns, increases open space to about 481 acres, includes roughly 18 miles of trails and four community parks (about 166 acres), and slightly increases the maximum unit count from just under 11,000 to just under 12,000.
